The documents relate to over a hundred places in the county.
The North Riding is mainly represented by Mr. Christie’s collection
relating to Carthorpe, Cleasby, Clowbeck, and Newton-le-Willows;
and by the last instalment of the Middelton collection relating to
Habton. The East Riding is mainly represented by the last instal¬
ment of Mr. Brown’s abstracts of the collection at Sewerby House,
the opportunity being taken to insert an account of the Sewerby
family in Appendix II; and by the important series of Watton
charters relating to Kilnwick. For York itself the deeds relating
to St. Martin’s church, Coney Street, throw considerable light on
the history of that parish. The majority of the deeds in the volume
relate, however, to the West Riding; and they include further
instalments of the Middelton collection, and of that belonging to
Lord Allendale at Bretton. The latter collection is a large one;
and it is hoped to print in a future volume several deeds relating
to the parish of Birstall and the family of Popeley. Bretton itself
came into the possession of the Wentworth family through the
marriage of John Wentworth of North Elmsall with Agnes, sister
and coheiress of Sir William Dronsfield, and was settled on their
younger son Richard. The other Dronsfield coheiress, Isabel,
married John Bosvile of Ardsley; and the Bretton deeds printed
in this volume throw light on the division of the Dronsfield inheri¬
tance. Another West Riding collection, belonging to Major Dent,
supplements the Ribston deeds which were printed in vols.vii-ix
of the Yorkshire Archaeological Journal.

INTRODUCTION

IX

The large number of religious houses set out in that heading
. of the Index illustrates the wide interests which they acquired.
Apart from isolated documents, such as an early grant to Easby
(No. 398), and an agreement between Watton and Meaux (No. 454),
there are two series which deserve particular mention. The first
of these is the British Museum collection of Byland documents
relating to Denby Grange (see p. 4 6n). Most of those earlier than
circa 1200 have been already printed in the original Latin in
Farrer, Early Yorkshire Charters, vol. iii, p. 421 et seq. But it has
been thought advisable to include abstracts of these in this volume,
so that the whole series may be read together. Deeds which were
originally in the possession of Byland Abbey have survived in
considerable numbers. A collection relating to Bagby and Balk,
and Islebeck, was printed in volume ii of this series; and a few
relating to Bentley Grange, from Lord Allendale’s collection, in
volume v. It is difficult to discover to what benefactor the abbey’s
holdings in so distant a part of the county were primarily due;
but the two granges of Denby and Bentley were administered by
Byland from the twelfth century to the Dissolution; and as granges
their names survive to-day. These Byland deeds have an interesting
series of endorsements, showing the numbers which were assigned
to them for catalogue purposes. Those relating to West Bretton
have a group-number (i), then the letter B, and then a sub-number,
all following the name Bentley. This clearly indicates that the
monks’ property at Bretton was based on their grange at Bentley.
Those relating to Briestwistle, Denby, Flockton, and Whitley
(places in which the monks’ property was apparently administered
from the grange at Denby), have generally a group-number (i, ii
or iii), either before or after the letter B, and then a sub-number,
all following the name Denby1. Sometimes words such as Forin-
secus or Purus or altera melior est were added; and one has a
cautionary observation that the terms of the grant were more
advantageously contained in others (see notes on pp. 24, 49, 51,
52, 56). In certain cases the word Conf[irmatio } occurs instead of
the place-name (pp. 58, 59). This may have been used for con¬
firmations by superior lords covering a wider area than that to
which the single place-name would have referred2.

1 The same system can be seen in the Bagby and Islebeck deeds printed
in vol. ii, where the letter B is also used.

2 This is suggested by the use of the name Denby on the dorse of No. 189,
and of the word Conf. on the wider grant by Hugh de Nevile (p. 58 note 5);
and by the use of the latter word on the wide grant of Henry de Lascy (No.
193). Cf. ‘inter magnas confirmac[iones]' on a confirmation by William
FitzWilliam, embracing both Bentley and Denby, in vol. v, No. 73. On
the other hand the endorsement on No. 188 in this vol. may be inconsistent
with this suggestion. It does not seem possible on the present evidence to
elucidate all the details satisfactorily; but the subject is not without interest.
An account of the system adopted by another Cistercian house, that of
Robertsbridge, is given by C. L. Kingsford, introd. to Report on the Manu¬
scripts of Lord De l’ Isle and Dudley, Hist. MSS. Comm.

INTRODUCTION

The second large collection of monastic documents is that
which belongs to St. Mary’s Mission at Hornby. They were formerly
in the possession of the Rev. Thomas West, the author of a history
of Furness, and a priest resident at Sizergh Castle, where he died
early in the nineteenth century. They form a valuable series of
grants to Watton Priory of lands in Kilnwick. Their condition is
exceptionally fine, and several date from before the reign of Henry
III, the earliest being certainly executed in that of Henry II
(No. 293).

Material for manorial history in this volume will be found in the
documents relating to Cleasby, Danby Wiske, Draughton, Habton,
Newton Kyme, Nosterfield, and Ribston, and to the comparatively
unknown manor of Bulcliffe. There is a curious grant by Henry de
Percy acquitting a tenant from the suit of his court of Spofforth,
except to afforce the court when necessary or to judge cases of
robbery (No. 461). A list of all the Yorkshire manors, to which
reference is made, is given in the Index under the heading ‘manors.’
But the word ‘manor’ was often a convenient term for a particular
block of property, and it must not be assumed that Nether
Shitlington and Hollinhurst (No. 437) were both manors for
which courts were held.

There are several references to rectors of parishes who lived
before the date of the earliest archiepiscopal register that has
survived. Thus No. 156 gives the name of a twelfth-century rector
of Thornhill, who is otherwise unknown. The occurrence in 1220
of Roger decanus de Ledesham (Nos. 163, 164) raises a small point.
He witnessed documents in the Pontefract Chartulary as Roger
persona de Ledesham (No. 179) and as Roger de Ledesham decanus
de Pontefracto (No. 178); while Roger de Ledesham, dean of
Pontefract, and Henry de Swillington, dean of Ainsty, occur as
joint witnesses (ibid., No. 190). It is therefore clear that he held
the rectory of Ledsham and the deanery of Pontefract concurrently;
and a more correct style than that given in the text would be
Roger the dean [of Pontefract, and rector] of Ledsham. As it stands
Ledsham would seem to be denominated a deanery, which was not
the case1. Among other matters of ecclesiastical interest are the
deed of presentation and induction to the free chapel of Cumber-
worth in 1650 (No. 135); and a letter of fraternity issued by the
Franciscans of Doncaster (No. 194). It is curious that Robert de
Ferriby is given as vicar of St. Martin, Coney Street, in one document
and as rector in another (Nos. 559, 577).

The will of Henry Butler, 1475, partly in Latin and partly in
English, is given in full (No. 471). He apparently made it on a jour¬
ney; and it is satisfactory to note that he returned safe (No. 472).

1 A parallel is Hugh decanus de Silkstone, who thus occurs in Pontefract
Chartulary, No. 365, and as Hugh persona de Silkstone in No. 358, and as Hugh
de Silkstone, dean of Doncaster, in Farrer, E.Y.C., No. 584.

INTRODUCTION

Another document, belonging to the preceding century, is a grant,
in the nature of a will, which was only to take effect if the grantor
died on a journey (No. 465). There is an abstract of the will of
Thomas de Loudham, vicar of St. Martin, Coney Street (No. 557);
and an inspection in 1356 of certain wills is from a register at York
which is now lost (No. 576).

Some miscellaneous points may be noticed. A witness to No.
169 is a certain Walter son of Hugh, a sheriff of Yorkshire, who
appears to be unrecorded. No. 9 is signed by William Roper, who
can almost certainly be identified as the son-in-law and biographer
of Sir Thomas More. On p. 103 there is a proof that in the thirteenth
century ‘crofts’ and ‘tofts’ could be regarded as interchangeable
terms. In No. 340 a lady is not disinclined to give her age. No.
297 provides a good example of a wife conveying her own interest
with her husband’s consent. In No. 307 a gold ring was apparently
used as the symbol of livery of seisin of a dowry. No. 291 is an
elaborate marriage agreement; and in another (No. 261) provision
was made for the possibility of divorce. The office of keeper,
bowbearer, and paler of Spofforth park was in dispute in 1553
(No. 473). The connection between the family of Vavasour and the
Warwickshire family of Revel (No. 196), and the origin of the family
of Nettleton of Thornhill Lees (No. 389) are only two examples of
genealogical value. The inventory of stock and utensils at Sewerby
in 1377 is a pleasant variation from deeds in common form (No.
422). Scalwray, a manor and vill which does not appear in Lang-
dale’s Dictionary , is seen to be identified as Stubham park in 1587
(No. 504). Field-names and local names are plentiful; and some,
such as “Hugepicle fox” in Stainland, are not easy to explain.

The seals attached to the documents raise several points of
interest. It is believed that the seal of the deanery of Craven
(No. 19), and the fragment of the seal of the deanery of the
Christianity of York (No. 554), have not been recorded hitherto.
The seal of abbot Helperby of Byland (No. 16) is unknown except
for this example. The fragment of the conventual seal of Meaux
(No. 454) suggests that Meaux had the same type of seal as other
Cistercian houses in Yorkshire, made perhaps of Yorkshire work¬
manship by the same hand1. In some cases a seal gives the grantor’s
parentage; thus Swain de Denby’s father is shown to be a man
whose name was apparently Ucciman (No. 158), and the father
of John de Wakyngham, a cordwainer of York, was almost certainly
named William Brun (No. 595). The seal of Maud, countess of
Northumberland (No. 369), is an interesting example of a lady's
own paternal arms being impaled by those of her two successive
husbands. A crusader’s seal of a lion-like animal being pierced by
a sword (No. 318) recalls the well-known seal of Hugh de Nevile

1 Archcieologia, lxxviii, 6.

Xll

of a man slaying a lion. The latter’s seal was probably the origin
of the story of his encounter with a lion in the Holy Land, and not
a representation of any such exploit; and it has been suggested
that several crusaders adopted for their seals devices which they
found prevalent in the East1. To some of the charters a seal was
affixed which was not that of the grantor. Thus Simon de Denby
had no seal of his own and used that of Jordan his brother (No.
160). Because John Wentworth’s seal was unknown to many people
he caused the seal of the mayor of Nottingham to be affixed
(No. 59); and his father used a seal which was clearly not his own
(No. 387). Nor, apparently, was it the dean of Craven, who was the
grantor of the deed to which his seal is affixed (No. 19). These
examples suggest that the prime necessity for the completion of a
charter by a private, not an official, grantor was the attachment of
an authentic seal rather than the actual seal of the grantor himself.
Such a practice assists forgery; and in one of the Byland charters
there is a strange seal attached to a document which purports to be
a confirmation by Roger de Lascy, and which is not unopen to
suspicion (No. 191). On the other hand a man’s own seal, if affixed
to a document issued by somebody else, had a value in showing his
concurrence in the terms of the transaction (No. 173). And in
addition to their own seals a man and his wife might procure a
well-known seal for purposes of publicity (No. 554). Several of the
seals are heraldic; and a list of these is given in the Index under the
heading ‘arms’. That of Hugh son of Geoffrey de Nevile, with the
arms, lozengy, a canton and a label, of which three examples occur
(Nos. 107, 136, 189), is of special interest; and some points connected
with it are examined in Appendix I.

Finally, it may be noted that deeds earlier than 1500, which
were written in English, are usually printed in full. They include
Nos. 16, 95, 264, 291, 443, and 498.

The thanks of the Society are due to the various owners of the
documents for their kindness in allowing abstracts to be made. And
it is a pleasure to note that, if further volumes in this particular
series are desired, the supply of material, and the willingness of
owners to have their documents printed, are by no means exhausted.
My own thanks are due to several friends through whose good
offices some of the collections have been placed at my disposal; in
particular, to Mr. Lionel Cresswell and Mr. W. E. Preston; to the
late Mrs. Tempest in connection with the documents belonging to
Mr. Christie and Mr. Wilberforce; to the Rev. F. J. Rawlinson in
connection with those belonging to St. Mary’s Mission at Hornby;
and, in connection with those belonging to the Vicar and Church¬
wardens of St. Martin, Coney Street, to the Rev. F. Harrison, who
has been good enough to lend me his own transcripts. I also have
pleasure in recording my thanks to Mr. E. W'. Crossley for again

2 The writ for the inq. p.m. of Herbert de St. Quintin is dated May 24,
1347. He died on the preceding May 19. His daughters Elizabeth and
Lora were then aged 6 (or 7) and 5 respectively. From this inquisition the
following identifications can be made: Belle is Bellchalwell co. Dorset;
Staunton is Stanton St. Quintin co. Wilts.; and Bradley is in par. Cookham
co. Berks. {Cal. Inq. p.m. ix, p. 25). With regard to the Yorks, property
Woodhall is in par. Swine; and Mapelton is Mappleton. Frome, which is
not mentioned in the inquisition, is Frome St. Quintin co. Dorset (Hutchins,
Dorset, ii, 224). Sir John Marmion was the elder of the two sons of Sir John
de Grey, 1st Lord Grey of Rotherfield by his second wife Avice Marmion; he was
aged lb and more in 1359; he inherited Tanfield and assumed the name of
Marmion. Sir Robert de Grey who married Lora St. Quintin was Sir John
Marmion’s younger brother and was dead by 1367 ( Complete Peerage, new

erly wife of Robert de Hastang, knt., in the said vills; warranty

(Ibid., No. 16).

1 Daughter of Robert de Cleasby and widow of Robert de Hastang of
the previous deed; she brought the manors of Cleasby, Clowbeck and Barforth
to Henry FitzHugh; the manor of West Applegarth appears to have already
been FitzHugh property ( V.C.H. , North Riding, i, 158, 189, 68, 102); but
possibly it was held of the Cleasby family, as this deed and the next indicate
that the interest was Emma’s. The second seal to the document in the pre¬
ceding note would seem to be that of her first husband; the arms being
Hastang impaling Cleasby — gules a fess between three lozenges argent
(‘Grimaldi’ Roll in Coll. Top. et Gen. ii, 327).

2 This relationship was a matter of dispute, and it was suggested that
he was an impostor. (V.C.H. , North Riding, i, 158); see also Yorks. Fines,
1347-77, p. 12.

3 Seal: red wax, round, 13/16ths in.; the Virgin standing and holding the
Child between three large ears of corn, two on the dexter side and one on the
sinister; legend not deciphered.

4 An erasure; but as Henry FitzHugh, the husband of Elizabeth Marmion,
did not die until 3 Henry VI, the date can be safely assigned as Sept. 1, 4
Henry VI (1425). (Clay, Extinct and Dormant Peerage, p. 74).

5 Seal: red wax, small; an object encircled by three crowns.

the souls of their ancestors, to strengthen ( transfigere )5 the dam of
their mill of Neuton Morel in the grantors’ land of Cloubek for
the retention of the water of Cloubek at the said dam, and to repair
the dam so strengthened as they had been accustomed to do
aforetime, in such a way as to do no damage on the grantors’ land
of Cloubek nor in their pasture there. Cleseby. {Ibid., No. 7).

which she formerly had for life by the demise of Robert de Hastang
and Emma his wife; to hold for Katherine’s life, rendering yearly

2 This deed is much damaged.

3 Seal: white wax, round, 13/16ths in.; a shield of arms, a chief and a lion
with a forked tail over all (arms of Hastang); legend not deciphered. This is
probably Sir Robert’s counter seal, much smaller than the seal which he
affixed to the Barons’ Letter to the Pope; see Lord Howard de Walden,
Some Feudal Lords and their Seals, p. 161.

4 The widow of Sir Robert de Hastang (G.E.C. loc. cit.)\ this deed gives
an earlier date for Sir Robert’s death than appears to be known.

6 The meaning is possibly that the dam, clearly already in existence,
was weakening, transfigere signifying the driving of stakes into it for additional
support.

2 The originals of these Byland charters relating to the abbey’s property
at Denby (Denby Grange) are in the British Museum, Add. Charters, Nos.
7409-82 (except that No. 7466 belongs to another series). Add. MS. 18388 is
a comparatively modern transcript of them, on which complete reliance
must not be placed; but it contains one charter of which there is no original
in the Add. Charters (No. 166 below). An original, which belongs to the
same series, was found among Lord Allendale’s muniments, and was printed
in vol. v, No. 59. Most of the charters are endorsed in a medieval hand in
numbered series, doubtless made for the muniment chest in the abbey. In
this volume they are printed under Denby, Briestwistle, Flockton, and
Whitley. Those relating to Denby are arranged as follows: Nos. 155-168
refer to grants made by the Denby family; Nos. 169-175 to grants by the
Thurstanland family; Nos. 176-178 to transactions with the descendants of
Harding; Nos. 179-186 to miscellaneous grants; No. 187 to confirmations by
the Fitzwilliam family; and Nos. 188-193 to confirmations by the Neviles and
the Lascies, the latter being the chief lords of the fee.

It is doubtful whether this was Roger’s seal, and the writing of the charter
is of a much later date than 1211 when he died. There is no endorsement
made by the monks of Byland. Possibly it is a later copy and a seal added
for the sake of completeness.

pastures and other appurtenances; to hold of the chief lords of the
fee2. Witnesses, Robert de Plumton, Simon de Kimb’, William de
Stopham, knts., William le Mauleverer, Peter de Middelton,

master (magri) of Tadechaster, Richard de Wetelay, Adam de

196. Morrow of Michaelmas, 25 Edward [I] (Sept. 30, 1297).
Grant3 by William Revel to Adam de Midelton and his heirs, of all
his manor of Draghton in Craven with the services of all the free
tenants of the manor, and with the villeins and their sequels; and
because he was unwilling to warrant the said tenements to anyone
he had handed over to the said Adam, his assign, the feoffment
of Mauger le Vavasur, his feoffor, in place of warranty. Witnesses,
Master John Wallewayn, William le Bret ton, Adam Chapelayn,
Thomas de Ulfschelf, Richard son of Robert de Wetelay, John
de Burton, clerk4. Clifton on Dunnesmore5. {Ibid., No. 3).

1 Also quitclaim by the same to the same of all right in the same manor
(Draghton). Witnesses, Robert de Plumpton, William de Stopham, knts.,
William Maleverere, Thomas de Ulskelf, John son of John de Denton. Seal
on a tongue of the parchment: dark red wax; semi-oval shaped; a shield
bearing a fess with two mullets in chief. The fess is not dancetty, as was
usually the case in the Vavasour arms. {Ibid., No. 2).

2 Mr. Baildon has an abstract of this deed in his excellent account of the
Vavasour family in Baildon and the Baildons, i, 510; he dates it as c. 1290-5.

3 Also, Wednesday before St. John the Baptist, 27 Edward [I] (June 17,
1299) quitclaim by Mauger le Vavasour to Adam de Midiltone of all right
in the same, and warranty. Witnesses, Thomas de Alta Ripa, John Gyllyoth,
knts., Laurence de Copmanthorp, Nicholas de Holande, William de Castelay,
the elder, William son of Henry de Fernelay. At Denton. Same seal as to
No. 2 of this series. {Ibid., No. 4).

4 Seal: brown wax, small; a winged figure; legend not deciphered.

5 This place in Warwickshire identifies the grantor of this deed as
William Revel who had the lordships of Clifton and Newbold Revel in that
county (Dugdale, Warwickshire, pp. 9, 81). But how was he the uncle of Sir
Mauger le Vavasour, the grantor of the preceding deed? From Dugdale’s
pedigree {Ibid., p. 82) it appears that his mother’s name was Alice. Now Sir
Mauger le Vavasour, the grantor’s grandfather, left a widow called Alice, as
appears in the preceding deed; and this Alice and William Revel were two of
the executors of Sir Mauger the grandfather (Baildon, op. cit., i, 509). It
looks highly probable that the two Alices were identical, and that she married
first Hugh Revel, by whom she had a son William Revel, and, secondly.
Sir Mauger le Vavasour. In this case William Revel could, by a not unusual
stretch of language, be termed uncle of Sir Mauger’s grandson, the grantor;
and the latter might well be prepared to grant him the Draughton property
which his mother was then holding in dower.

Castle deeds relating to Kilnwick and Lockington printed in Vol. i of this
series; and also with the deeds relating to North Dalton in Farrer, Early
Yorks. Charters, i, pp. 460-5. The latter evidence and certain dates which
are available indicate that several of the deeds here printed belong to the
end of the twelfth or the early part of the thirteenth century. A few have
medieval endorsements with numerals, but some of these are the same; and
there is no continuous series of numbering for catalogue purposes. This
suggests that no such general system prevailed at Watton as is shown by the
Byland charters printed in this volume. The numbers given in brackets
are quite modern, written on each deed in red ink.

father and mother and all his ancestors, and for three marks of
silver which the convent gave him in consideration of charity2.
(Nos. 1 and 2).

son of Brian ( Brien ) was holding three and Thomas his brother two.
William and Thomas would do the forinsec service for the said
fee to the convent, and the convent to the grantor, because he had
given their service and homage to God and the convent, so that
William and Thomas and their heirs would hold of the convent and
the convent of the grantor and his heirs. If anyone should claim
the fee the grantor and his heirs would defend it to the use of the
convent against all claimants, and if he were unable to defend he
would not give them exchanges; pledge to hold to all these things

own interest with the husband’s consent; the early period of such a transaction
should be noticed; the twelfth century examples given in Pollock and
Maitland, History of English Law, ii, 411 are chiefly those of conveyances by
husband with wife’s consent or by husband and wife jointly. The seal to this

She married, firstly, Gilbert de Umfraville, earl of Angus, who died s.p.

Northumberland. She died s.p. Dec. 24, 1398 (Clay, op. cit. p. 224, and
G.E.C., Complete Peerage). G.E.C. (1st ed.) gives "about 1384” as the date
of her second marriage. This deed conclusively proves that it took place
before Dec. 15, 1381, within a year of the death of her first husband.

Umfraville, Gilbert’s sister. (Clay, loc. cit.).

It seems probable from this deed that Nosterfield, which was also Scrope
property ( V.C.H. , N.R., i, 387) was likewise inherited by her, and so des¬
cended in the Strangways family. If so, the history of the manor, as given in

1 Spelt Mold and also Maud. The document is in French.

2 Seal: yellow-brown wax, round, £ in.; beneath a double canopy,
elaborately carved, on the sinister a standing figure, probably the Virgin and
Child, and on the extreme dexter another figure apparently female, kneeling
towards her in prayer; between them is apparently a vase of flowers; a long
legend not deciphered.

3 The first four letters of the regnal year are quad, so that the date is

between 1366 and 1375. July 7 fell on a Tuesday in 1366, which is therefore
probably the year. The document is in a bad condition. The place where it
was drawn up is A. w . . possibly Ad wick.

there were separate manors (either real or reputed).

558. Memorandum1 that if, as was said, Thomas Loudham
bequeathed by his testament in 1349 the chambers in the church¬
yard of the parish church of St. Martin in Conyngstrete he did it
unjustly, because more than eight years previously he had granted
them to a certain chaplain Sir John by his charter in the presence
of the mayor of York, and Sir John granted them by his charter in
fee tail to the sons of his sister, five in number, and they held the
premises until Thomas Loudham’s death at the time of the first
mortality2 and more than ten years afterwards ; and Thomas
therefore had no right therein when he made his testament. This
was proved by the charters exhibited before the mayor and sheriffs
of York, and the record was sealed with the mayor’s seal.

APPENDIX I.

A Nevile Problem.

In a grant by Henry son of Swain de Denby to Byland abbey
of his land in Denby, in Upper Whitley, in the parish of Kirkheaton
(No. 158 in this volume), the first witness is a certain Ralph de
Nevile, described as the grantor’s lord. This grant, which can be
dated 1191-94, was duly confirmed by Ralph de Nevile (No. 188);
and there is a record of another charter by which Ralph de Nevile
notified that he had confirmed the grants made to Byland of land
in Denby both by Henry son of Swain and William son of Osbert
[de Denby]1. The grant by Henry son of Swain was also confirmed
by his son Jordan, who died before 1219 (No. 159); and the first
witness is Sir Hugh de Nevile, described as the grantor’s lord. The
first point which arises is the identification of this Ralph de Nevile
and of his successor Sir Hugh; and, secondly, the origin of the
fee which they held in Denby.

Now at a considerably later date, probably c. 1270, another
Hugh de Nevile quitclaimed to Byland his right in the lands which
the abbot and convent held of his fee in Denby (No. 189). To this
deed he affixed his seal, which bears a shield of arms, lozengy , a
canton and a label. In this volume there are two other deeds to
which this seal, precisely the same, was affixed. The first is a grant
of land in Cawthorne (W.R.) by Sir Hugh de Nevile, obviously the
same man (No. 107); and the second, which is valuable in giving
his parentage, is a grant by Hugh son of Geoffrey de Nevile to
Thomas son of Thomas de Furnivall, whose daughter he was
marrying, of the manor and advowson of Danby Wiske, and
land in Harpswell, co. Lincoln, and the advowson of that church
(No. 136). This Hugh de Nevile used another seal, a secretum, with
the same arms (No. 190). His Cawthorne property is explained
without difficulty; it descended to him from his mother Mabel
(wife of Geoffrey de Nevile), who was a daughter of William de la
Mare by his wife Mabel Malherbe, whose mother was the younger
daughter and coheiress of Adam son of Swain2. There is no certain
indication as to how any member of the Nevile family had acquired
the manor of Danby Wiske; but Hugh’s father Geoffrey had
certainly held it in 1239 when he was granted free warren in the
demesne lands of his manor there3; and it is possible that he

acquired it through his marriage with Mabel de la Mare, for a family
of that name had an interest in a portion of the parish1. The
Harpswell property is somewhat obscure; for in 1240 Richard de
Grey and Lucy his wife quitclaimed, for themselves and Lucy’s
heirs, to Alexander de Nevile all right in twenty-two bovates of
land and the advowson of Harpswell2; and the connection between
Alexander and Hugh son of Geoffrey de Nevile is not obvious.

There is good evidence for identifying Hugh son of Geoffrey de
Nevile with the Hugh who succeeded to the manor of Laceby, co.
Lincoln, on the death of his first cousin Geoffrey de Nevile in 12673;
and it is significant that his uncle John de Nevile, the younger
Geoffrey’s father, used a seal with a shield of arms, lozengy, a canton
ermine 4. Again, there is no reasonable doubt that he was the Hugh
de Nevile who was holding a moiety of Appleby, co. Lincoln, in 1254,
John de Longvillers holding the other moiety5; these moieties had
descended to them by their common descent from Maud, younger
daughter of Adam son of Swain, by her second husband John
Malherbe6.

But this identification of Hugh intensifies the difficulty which
surrounds the Denby problem. For in the generations which
precede him — his father Geoffrey, his grandfather Geoffrey (dead
in 1226) and his great-grandfather Alan, (a justice in 1165)7— -there
is no mention of any Ralph or Hugh; and it is therefore difficult to
see how he could have succeeded them in the Denby property.

At Denby the family of FitzWilliam acquired an interest; and
there is a long series of confirmations to Byland abbey by members
of that family (Nos. 187, 187w), the earliest of which refers to
Thomas FitzWilliam of Emley who held a carucate there as im¬
mediate lord of John de Denby. Thomas FitzWilliam was of age
in 1226 and was living in 12538. His son William held his land in
Denby of Hugh de Nevile, for the latter, described as Sir Hugh de
Nevile of Denby, gave an undertaking to Byland that he would
henceforth make no distraint for the homage of William son of Sir
Thomas son of William (No. 190). This Sir Hugh was clearly Hugh
son of Geoffrey, as the seal affixed to the deed is his secretum, with
the same arms.

1 V.C.H. Yorks., North Riding, i, 172-3. On the other hand Geoffrey
may have acquired it in 1236 by the grant of one Thomas de Munsorel
(Yorks. Fines, 1232-46, p. 45).

Laceby, Sturton and Appleby, co. Lincoln, in Genealogist, xxi, 217.

Nevile, the grant being of land in Leisseby [Laceby]. By another charter
(Harl. 54 B 38) he granted to Kirkstead abbey land in Stratton [Sturton] ;
and to this is affixed his seal, of different shape but bearing the same arms.

APPENDIX.

187

The origin of this mesne tenure interposed between the families
of Nevile and Denby is probably to be found in an endorsement in
a later hand to the notification by Ralph de Nevile already men¬
tioned1: “it is said that Philip de Nevyl sold to Thomas son of
William the service of 7s. 6d. for his homage; which 7s. 6d. we
[i.e., the monks] pay to Thomas’s heirs, doing fealty. We [?] seek
the confirmation of Hugh de Nevyl.” Now this sum of 7s. Qd.
is clearly the sum which the monks undertook to pay to Henry
de Denby and his son Jordan (Nos. 158, 159), and which was
doubtless due by the latter to the Nevile family; and the subin¬
feudation of Thomas FitzWilliam -by Philip de Nevile can be
dated as the middle period of the 13th century when Thomas was
living. But who was Philip de Nevile ? If, as seems reasonable to
suppose, he was the successor of Ralph and the earlier Hugh the
problem of their identification becomes even more complex.

There may be added, for what they are worth, two slender
pieces of evidence connecting the FitzWilliams with the members
of the Nevile family already mentioned. The first is the similarity
between the FitzWilliam arms of a field lozengy with those borne
by Hugh son of Geoffrey de Nevile; and the second is an entry in
the Pipe Roll of 1177-78 where Ralph de Nevile (possibly the Ralph
in question) rendered an account of 100s. for hastening his duel
with William son of Godric (the ancestor of the FitzWilliams)2.

But these considerations provide no satisfactory solution of the
problems to which this note primarily refers. The following solution
is put forward tentatively. The first Hugh de Nevile associated
with Denby may be Hugh ‘the forester’, who was living early in the
13th century, and whose father’s name was probably Ralph3; the
Denby property, for some unknown reason, may have been trans¬
ferred to Philip de Nevile, who was probably a son of Ralph de
Nevile of Scotton co. Lincoln, a younger brother of Hugh ‘the
forester’;4 lastly, it may have been transferred by Philip to John
de Nevile of Laceby, from whom it would have descended to Hugh
son of Geoffrey3. This solution is sound on chronological grounds;
but there appears to be no record of the transactions, nor any
reason why the property did not always descend from father to son.
Nor can any suggestion be made to explain the origin of the interest
acquired by the Nevile family in Denby.

The Family of Sewerby1.

I. OSBERT DE SEWERBY.

c. 1175-85 witnessed a grant to Bridlington priory
(' Chartulary , p. 58; Farrer, Early Yorks. Charters, No. 1168);
and a grant by prior Hugh ( Chartulary p. 15), who occurs
as prior in 1189 and 1192 (Baildon, Monastic Notes, p. 18).

He granted 61 bovates in Sewerby, which he had pre¬
viously purchased, and his capital messuage there to Brid¬
lington priory (Chartulary, pp. 36-8).

He was possibly a son of Robert de Sewerby mentioned
as apparently dead in one of Osbert's grants (Ibid., p. 36);
but there is nothing to prove this. A William de Sewerby
who is mentioned sometimes in a senior position to Osbert in
lists of witnesses ( e.g ., Ibid., p. 286) may have been an
elder brother.

Osbert had issue : —

(1) William (II).

(2) Eufemia (Bridlington Chartulary, p. 37).

(3) Lecia or Leticia, who granted land to Bridlington
(Ibid.) and who occurs in a fine of 1226 (Yorks. Fines,
1218-31, p. 98).

II. WILLIAM DE SEWERBY.

c. 1185-95 made grants of land in Marton and Sewerby
to Bridlington priory (Chartulary, p. 32; Farrer, E.Y.C.,
No. 1218). From these grants it appears that Leceline his
wife was a sister of Agnes daughter of Arnald de Marton.
In 1166 Arnald de Marton held of Simon, earl of Northampton,
i knight's fee of the Gant fee (Farrer, E.Y.C., No. 1139,
from Red Book ); and Agnes had issue Walter de Marton
(Chartulary, p. 32).

William de Sewerby also confirmed the grants made by
Osbert his father and Leticia his sister (Chartulary, p. 37).

He had sons : —

(1) Robert (III).

(2) Arnald, who was sometimes known as Arnald de Marton
(e.g., Chartulary, p. 36; Yorks . Deeds, vi, No. 401).
Thus persons using the name of Marton may have
descended in two lines from the daughters of the original
Arnald de Marton.

(3) Thomas (Chartulary, pp. 32, 195).

(4) William (Ibid.)

1 This pedigree is mainly based on the Sewerby deeds, printed in this
series of volumes, and on the Bridlington Chartulary, ed. W. T. Lancaster.

It makes no pretension to be a full account of the family.

APPENDIX.

189

III. ROBERT DE SEWERBY.

In 1234 he held three carucates in Sewerby (Yorks.
Fines, 1232-46, p. 20).

In one document in the Bridlington Chartulary (p. 50)
he and his three brothers are referred to under the name of
Marton; but Robert is more usually known by the name of
Sewerby. He is probably the Robert son of William de
Sewerby who occurs in deeds in this volume (Nos. 399 et
seq.); and his wife was Beatrice sister of Arnald de Buckton
(Nos. 405-6; and vol. iv, No. 451).

He had issue : —

(1) John (IV).

(2) Thomas, who occurs in dated documents of 1261, 1267,
1278 ( Bridlington Chartulary , pp. 262, 12, 179, 205) and
who may have been the husband of Isabel who occurs in
1296 (Yorks. Deeds, v, No. 345; see also Ibid., vi, Nos.
407-8).

(3) William the clerk (Ibid., vi, No. 404).

(4) William the mercer (Ibid., vi, No. 404).

(5) Alice, to whom her father granted two bovates in Sewerby
(Ibid., vi, No. 402). She married 1st Robert de St. Paul
of Burton Fleming, and 2nd William le Barun (Brid¬
lington Chartulary, p. 61).

IV. JOHN DE SEWERBY.

It is difficult to know whether he or his brother Thomas
was the elder1, or from whom Robert (V) of the next gen¬
eration descended. But John, who was living in 1256
(Bridlington Chartulary , p. 236) certainly had a son called
Robert who occurs in 1267 (Ibid., pp. 61, 179).

John son of Robert de Sewerby occurs in undated deeds
of the middle of the thirteenth century (Yorks. Deeds, vi,
Nos. 409-10).

V. ROBERT DE SEWERBY.

A Robert de Sewerby, holding land in Kirk Ella, was
living in 1270 (Yorks. Deeds, v, No. 72). Robert de Sewerby,
father of William (VI) was dead by 1284 (see below).

If, as seems probable, he can be identified with Robert
son of John (IV) de Sewerby above, his wife’s name was
Juliana (Bridlington Chartulary, p. 61).

Robert de Sewerby had a son William (VI).

VI. WILLIAM DE SEWERBY. Son and heir; attained full age
in 1284, when his father was dead (Yorks. Deeds, v, No. 344).
He was living in 1291 (Bridlington Chartulary, p. 56);
and apparently died before 1308 (Yorks. Deeds, v. No. 346).

1 The fact that his name occurs before his brothers in some lists of
witnesses ( e.g ., Bridlington Chartulary, pp., 30, 35) indicates that he was
probably the eldest.

Index of Deeds relating to Yorkshire

in “Ancient Deeds.”

The six volumes of the Descriptive Catalogue of Ancient Deeds in the
Public Record Office (1890-1915) contain a considerable number of abstracts
of deeds relating to different parts of Yorkshire. The following table contains
a consolidated list of the places to which they principally refer; and it has been
compiled on the same basis which is described in the Index of Place-Headings
for Yorkshire Deeds, vols. i-v (Appendix IV to vol. v of this series). In
some cases the identification of the place in question has been a source
of difficulty, especially as the origin of the several deeds is often unknown;
and doubtful cases are distinguished either by a question mark or apostrophes,
e.g., 'Flanderwath,’ ‘Ponterbell.’

p. 20, note 2, and Appendix I, p. 153, stating that William Fleming of Wath

Mr. Legh Tolson has kindly supplied the following: —

In the latter half of the xvth century there were two families of
Fleming in the West Riding of Yorkshire: —

1. Fleming of Wath-upon-Dearne, and Fleming House, Dalton,
Kirkheaton.

196

APPENDIX.

2. Fleming of Fleming Hall, Sharleston, nr. Wakefield; apparently
both bearing the same arms, and frequently using the same Christian
name, William.

William Fleming of Wath who died in 1461, son and heir of John

(Sir John) Fleming, married Anne . That her Christian name

was Anne is placed beyond question by the Chancery Proceedings of
1460-66 28/257/60, and the Court Rolls of the Manor of Dalton for
1483; also that she outlived her first husband William Fleming and
married secondly John Nevile before 1466.

There is probably an error in the Note and Appendix referred to
above. The Visitation of Lancs., 1567 {Chet. Soc., vol, 81, p. 36) does not
give the Christian name of the daughter of Roger Nowell of Great Mereley
who married William Fleming, and states that he was of Fleming
Hall, not Wath, but in Surtees Soc. vol., 133, her Christian name is said
to be Jane dau. of John Nowell of Read.

The Visitation of Lancs, for 1664-5 and the pedigree of Townley in
the History of Whalley, say John Townley had a daughter Matilda who
married William son and heir of Sir John Fleming; this does not agree
with the Christian name Anne in the Chancery Proceedings and Court
Roll. Is the Matilda a mistake for Anne, or was Anne a second wife of
William Fleming, whose marriage and surname are not recorded ?
p. 21, No. 62, 1. 1, “March” should read “May.”

p. 35, note 2, there are two seals attached to this document; (1) as printed,
(2) the same as to No. 109.

p. 39, 1. 8. For dyuere read dynere, probably the marriage feast,
p. 39, note 1. Delete and insert: worship, in the sense used down to the
sixteenth century of the condition (in a person) of deserving, or being
held in, esteem or repute; it is the sense used by Hooker ‘in professing
that his intent was to adde by his person honour and worship unto
hers, he tooke her plainly and clearely to wife.’ (O.E.D.).
p. 52, No. 149. The reference to this deed is “79” not “29.”
p. 108, No. 329. The owner of this deed is E. W. Crossley.
p. 127, 1. 3 of notes, for “Mere” read “there.”
p. 129, note 1, for “Dunnington” read “Dinnington.”

p. 174, col. 2. The entry under Heaton, Kirk, should be under Kirkheaton.

VOL. IV.

p. 36, note 2. The legend on this seal should read S[IGILLVM COMMVN]E .
DE . KYRKESTAL.

p. 201, col. 1. The reference for le Stede should be 34* and not 24*.

VOL. V.

p. 214, col. 1, Kereby. This is probably Kearby in Kirkby Overblow,
p. 223, col. 2. After Rye, river, insert 79.
